KID CARPET & JINX LENNON
	Thursday May 5 | White’s Tavern | 8.00pm

Kid Carpet and his collection of Fisher Price guitars and plastic toys is the genius known as ‘the low budget Beck’.

Musically, his tunes growl, purr and leap with punchy, sampled beats, pounding baselines and ground-breakingly fat breaks.

Crowd favourites include Nelson Street Space Invaders, with his frighteningly cool take on Van Halen’s Jump coming in a close second.

But it is the enthusiastic, jiving and honest simplicity of singing that steals the show. So used are we to seeing a couple of skinny, terrified waifs cowering behind their computer screens at live shows, that Carpet’s performance will leave you flabbergasted.

In him is the dynamism, the unquestionable talent and the sheer enjoyment of both music and performance that make for a incredible live gig.

Jinx Lennon is part folk punk poet, part gospel music energy preacher He hails from Dundalk and has released two highly acclaimed CDs and delivered stunning live shows supporting the likes of Hamell on Trial and The Fall.
